Safety, trust & environment

My care varies from dog to dog and cat to cat. For active dogs, I love to take them on long walks or the dog park if the dog plays well with others. Other dogs require lots of backyard play. Most dogs and cats like lots of pets, cuddles, and attention, which I am more than happy to give :)

Information Nellie D. would like to know about your pet

It helps to write out (or make me aware of) preferences, special needs, and words and/or commands your pet is familiar with. It helps the dog adjust to keep it familiar!

A typical day

It depends on the dog! I love to go to the dog park, go on long walks in my neighborhood, in the dog’s neighborhood, or at the park! Some dogs don’t do as well at those places, so I’m also happy to provide play in the backyard. Or just spend time with lower energy fur babies.

Nellie did a great job house sitting for my two dogs and two cats. Both the dogs and the cats seemed happy and relaxed when I came back, and she was able to stay an extra night when my return flight was cancelled. I received pictures and updates throughout my trip.

Nellie is amazing! This was our first time leaving Lucy with a sitter and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Lucy is a bit anxious but it was clear that Nellie was able to form a bond right away. She sent lots of photos every day and kept great communication. 10/10 would recommend!!

Nellie did an excellent job caring for our dog, Bella in our home while we were out of town for a few days. Nellie was flexible with her schedule to be available before we actually left town, and she communicated regularly during our absence. She left the house probably cleaner than when she arrived, and Bella was well-adjusted when we returned. I really appreciate how Nellie tried to maintain Bella's routines as much as possible. I highly recommend Nellie for care of your pet(s).
